This 80-acre corporate campus located at Lake Cook Road and Saunders Road consisted of a new 463,000-square-foot office building, 90,000-squarefoot employee services pavilion, 150,000-square-foot data center, multilevel parking structures, and enclosed bridges and tunnels connecting all buildings on the campus. The design also accounted for future expansion of the data center, additional parking structures, and a future 400,000-square-foot office building.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS:

Earthwork & Utilities
Site preparation included early mass grading and stormwater management
improvements, relocation of on-site county sanitary trunk sewer, and a City
watermain, design, and coordination of electrical and fiber-optic duct banks,
and design, of temporary parking lots to serve the existing campus during
construction.

Transportation Planning & Design
Final site design included new and reconfigured roadways and parking lots, a new “Ring Road”, connecting pathway, an integrated stormwater management system, site utilities, landscaping coordination and berm design, and incorporation of extensive security measures.

Traffic Impact Studies & Analysis
The project also included traffic studies required by Cook County and Lake County, and roadway improvement and traffic signal design plans for Lake Cook Road and Saunders Road.
